Forms, Forms, Forms and NC Workers' Comp Claims

• kbunn's blog

Workers' compensation in North Carolina involves forms, and there is no way around it.  Most cases begin with the injured employee filing a Form 18 notice of injury, while the employer or their insurance company files a Form 19.  Claims can be accepted by Form 60 or 63, or denied by Form 61.  A form 18M keeps medical treatment open.  Forms are also used under NC workers' compensation law for permanent disability ratings, travel expenses, to request a hearing, to terminate payment, to resume payment, to show a payment was made, and for just about everything else.  The forms are available on the North Carolina Industrial Commission's website, but be careful filling out these forms.  A NC workmans comp claim can be lost when a form is filled out improperly or not filled out at all.  For a free consultation with a NC workers' comp attorney please call or send us an email.
